Carbon Fiber interiors

Morning all,

I'm looking into covering my OEM Panels in REAL CARBON FIBER
- Stereo surround plastic
- Passenger side dash plastic
- Shifter surround plastic
- Steering wheel plastic
- Both sides door handle plastics

Has anyone done or tried doing this? Where did you get the sheets?

Thank you!

V/r
Sef

I'm going to steal your thread since it's similar topic,

Approximately, how large of a vinyl sheet do I need to wrap the interior pieces mentioned above)? (Going to use the 3M Carbon Fiber wrap)

That can't be real carbon fiber though, I think OP wants the cloth one where you'll need to use resin, polyamine hardener, and a clear coat.

So for those who already did this; where did you get the carbon fiber sheet?

Not sure where you can get stuff to do yourself, but I know that if you buy overlays that are actual carbon fiber for those trim pieces it will be around 600-700 bucks

That is the best site for carbon fabric in my opinion. Been using them for about ten years now.
